Hi my dear friend!

Love your TR so far. I'm happy you had smooth flights...we have the same "love" for flying so I had to comment on that.

I am really, really sad to hear about Jas and Aladdin. I hope the pain eases soon for both of them. So sorry to hear that they are hurting.

Of course we love the dress that Jasmine bought. It's so cute and she will be gorgeous in it for sure! Thanks for posting the pics. I will be sure to show Josie and Lindsey tomorrow. They will be so excited.

What a great DIS meet on the Boardwalk. It makes me really jealous that I couldn't make it down a few days earlier. I do have my eyes on meeting you and Jas next year though. Hopefully we can get it all worked out. We NEED to meet!!

Hey Queen . I finally made it over here . I'm so sorry to hear about Jasmine and Aladdin. Before our May 2008 trip Amanda and her then boyfriend broke up. I know it was hard for her to make the decision to end their relationship.

Congrats on the 3 pounds too . I really need to get back on my diet and lose weight again.

I'm enjoying your TR . It looks like ya'll had a really fun Dis meet and the food at Cat's looks soooooo yummy.

I can't wait for more .

What a great way to start your day...a yummy breakfast and a fun Dis meet

Great pictures around the Boardwalk! We loved it there!

 

[PrincessCaitlin]

Cool pic of the turtle! My dad was obsessed with watching them from our balcony at Beach Club

Jasmine looks so cute in the Boardwalk pic!

Seeing pics of Boardwalk really makes me miss it!

Your breakfast looks so good!

Mmm I had the Mickey Mouse shaped blueberry muffin with powdered sugar on top for breakfast one morning and it was amazing

There's the cheesecake brownie I had!

Sounds like a fun dismeet! I am glad you both had a good time!

I took the ham out of the oven and put it on the platter. Later on I helped with the dishes. Seems like a fair trade to me.

We had a very good weekend, a bi cold but a great weekend. Declan scored his first touchdown, we had two dinners,and got everything put away for the winter.

We were a bit jealous of that 20 degrees you had out there though.

Ok...sounds like a fair trade dishes are the part I hate the most

Congrats to Declan...that is awesome!

We hit 19 degrees today....we are keeping our fingers crossed it continues!!

Great update!! looks like such a fun bkfst. The Boardwalk is a nice area. I would saty there if they did not have that creepy clown slide!!

Hi Mary!!

You sound just like Jasmine, she has always had a phobia about clowns

Congrats on the weight loss! I think I start gaining weight when I even think about Disney food. Awesome job!

I have to admit your TR title kinda scares me. I am not a spider fan at all. I may have to skip over that part!

DTD and the Boardwalk both look awesome. I've got to check some of these places out and get out of our disney routine a bit. Looks like you're having a great time and can't wait to read the rest!! Love your pics!

Thank you so much! I will give you fair warning before the that post....I hate spiders they actually terrify me!

You really do need to check out DTD and The Boardwalk....they are wonderful places to visit....we will definitely be back to The Boardwalk!

 

[Queenofallthings]

OOOHHH I love the Cheese Cake Brownies from the Boardwalk Bakery!! Yummy!! They are, alone, worth the trek to the Boardwalk.

That's great to know...I will add them to our "must try" food list for next summer...thanks

great update!!! I'm glad you took pics of the breakfast! I'm not a huge breakfast person so I prolly would have gotten the same thing as Jas! Hope you have a good week!

Jasmine never ventures outside her box when it comes to food....she does not have an adventurous side when it comes to that.....drives me nuts

We are so happy you've joined us! Thanks for you kind words....

Hi Leanne

I thought of you as we got on the little plane out of winnipeg and knew you would feel exactly the same way we did

Thanks Leanne, Jasmine is actually doing well. She has been spending a lot of time with her friends and working but I guess it's always easier when you're the one that makes that decision.....Aladdin is still having a tough time

I will take a picture of her at her birthday dinner wearing the dress and send it to the girls

We are keeping our fingers crossed for next summer...I can't wait for this meet!!! I think we've waited long enough my friend

Hi Dana

Growing up is never easy, but I keep telling her all these trials and tribulations make you who you are....I get the "yes mother" look so then I stop

We had an awesome Dismeet, they were so much fun!!!

What a great way to start your day...a yummy breakfast and a fun Dis meet

Great pictures around the Boardwalk! We loved it there!

It really was the best way to start our vacation....we truly enjoyed spending the morning with them

Jasmine and I couldn't help but think of you guys being there just a few days before us....made us a little sad that we couldn't have met up....but as Jasmine said "next summer mom, we'll all be here" how right she is

I think because we never see turtles at home, I found him quite interesting

That breakfast was so delicious....I can taste it now!! I can't imagine staying at there and having the bakery within walking distance every morning....that would have been deadly for me

We did have a great time....next summer hon...it'll be all of us!!!!!

blah, blah blah and no updatewhat's up with that

 

[OhioDisneyLover]

Hi there! I am finally getting back to the DIS.

We had such a great time at breakfast with you and Jasmine. I was so happy that we had the chance to meet and chat for a bit. Breakfast was so yummy! I really, really loved my waffles.

Boardwalk Bakery had a lot of yummy stuff too. The Mickey Muffins that I got that day were delish. We had them as snacks later on in the trip.

After breakfast we went back to WL for a bit and then were off to MK.

I'm looking forward to hearing more. I was so glad that I could text Jasmine over the rest of your trip since we met near the end of mine!

Hi Sophia

I agree, it was so nice to be able to text after you had gone home I cannot wait to purchase some of those delicasies from Boardwalk Bakery next summer

 

[disneydreamingdebby]

What a fun start to your trip! I think the Boardwalk is so lovely.

I love that Jasmine already is giving you ideas for your next dismeet next summer.

 

[Queenofallthings]

We left off with us leaving our new friends after a wonderful breakfast at Kouzzina...you really all need to try this retaurant, it was so delicious!

I thought on our way back to DHS on the Friendship boat that I would snap a few pics of the other resorts along the way...it really is such a beautiful relaxing ride....it's one of our favorite things to do at Disney! If we ever have dinner ADR's in Epcot, we always take the bus to DHS then the boat to Epcot....we love it!

The Yacht and Beach Club dock...one year we will stay here.....hopefully

The Dolphin....these hotels look gorgeous too, never been in them, but they look amazing!

The fountain at the Dolphin

The dock for both the Swan and Dolphin

We finally made it back to the dock at DHS and headed to our bus to take us back to All Star Music....the pool was calling us! Clearly I wasn't picture happy this particular afternoon at the pool because this is the only picture I have from that day!

Once we had our fill of a sun filled afternoon by the pool, we headed back to our room to shower and get ready for our ADR at Wolfgang Puck Cafe at the West Side in DTD. Last summer we ate here for the first time and we loved it, it was actually our best meal of the trip, so we were both super excited to get there!!! Our waiter was Tyler and he was amazing...I think it might have had something to do with him flirting with Jasmine the entire meal, he couldn't do enough for us.....it was quite cute! He brought us the bread basket first and it was so good, but I limited myself to half a piece, but Jasmine polished off 3 pieces....

We both decided that we would have the same thing....macadamia crusted chicken....it's what I had last year and I couldn't wait to have it again. It did not disappoint...it was just as good as I remembered....Jasmine even ate every bite which never happens!

For dessert Jasmine decided on the chocolate cake with ganache in the centre and she proclaimed it better than the chocolate wave at the Coral Reef, which blew me away because that's always been her favorite dessert on property.

I had the carrot cake....words cannot describe this cake....I could have skipped dinner entirely and just eaten cake....this was the one time I wavered from my "eat only half"...this cake is to die for!!!

After a wonderful dinner we decided we would wander the West Side for a little while...the entrance to our favorite restaurant at DTD

Heading toward the marketplace

The movie theatres which we never used this trip....usually if a storm or hurricane is approaching and the weather turns bad, we will spend a day here, but there was no need for that this trip...the weather gods were smiling on us!

Bongo's...we have never eaten here, but I think we're both at the stage where we want to try something new next year...so we've put it on the list for next summer

Jasmine has a bit of a sweet tooth and we always stop in this store for chocolate covered strawberries, but we were far too full from dinner to even entertain the thought, but Jasmine had to take pics of the apples

Vinylmation...the latest craze....I had to really talk myself out of buying any of these because I knew I would quickly become addicted...we did each buy a vinylmation key chain which I will post pics of when we get there!!!

Forrest Gump's boat.....we love Forrest so had to get our annual shot of "jenny"

We headed back to the hotel shortly after this to get an early night because we had our first park day on Sunday and our second Dis-meet!!!!

 

[Queenofallthings]

What a fun start to your trip! I think the Boardwalk is so lovely.

I love that Jasmine already is giving you ideas for your next dismeet next summer.

Thanks Debby!

She really enjoyed all the Dismeets that we had, it was nice to share our favorite place with people who enjoyed it as much as we do

 

[TinkerbellLuvr7]

nice update!! The food looks very yummy!!!

 

[KatMark]

Queen, your meal at Wolfgang's looks really good. We've not eaten there since they were first opened and we were given a complimentary meal there. I think we will have to put it back on the list. I love your pics from the boat ride and the pics that Jasmine took of the apples.

 

[OhioDisneyLover]

Nice update WP looks yummy! That carrot cake looks amazing!!!

Joe and I have never really gone to that side of DTD, except for when it's raining and we catch a movie. Looks like fun!

 

[mermaid764]

Mmmm dinner looks really good and so do those apples...we never indulged in one because I could not even imagine finishing it but they look delicious.

Bongos is on our to do list as well as it sounds really good.

Can't wait to hear about the next dismeet

 

[dawnbu40]

Glad you enjoyed Kouzzina. We tried dinner there and it was my least favorite of the trip Maybe I need to try breakfast there


I love the pictures of the Epcot area resorts! Beautiful

That carrot cake looks wonderful! And your waiter obviously has very good taste

Looking forward to hearing more!

 

[MEK]

I can't believe I missed your last update. How the heck did that happen? Well, let me just say that the breakfast at kouzzina (or however you spell it) looked super yum. I am having breakfast there in May, so bring it on! Those waffles looked great. And what a fun Dis meet. That is so cool!

Now you know I love the piano pool at ASMu so thanks for including that picture. Best quiet pool EVER!

What a lovely day and evening you had. Jasmine's dress was is so cute!
